Product Categories for Control Rooms and Command Centers

You’ll notice throughout this web site that I interchange the words control room furniture, console furniture, control room console, command center furniture, control room desk, workstations, and dispatch furniture. I use all of these terms because they have fundamentally the same meaning and are the terms that owners, designers and manufacturers bring to the conversation.

Unique to our 120 degree security furniture are the custom desktop turrets for rack mounted radios and computers.

Alternatively, all rack mounted equipment can be stored in the vented cabinets. The 120 degree workstation combines nicely with our freestanding, matching Visionmaster LCD video walls form a powerful monitoring tool. As with other Americon command center furniture and video wall systems, they can be installed by the owner, however factory installation of the video wall is recommended.

Control Room and Command Center Characteristics

The Control Rooms and Command Centers pages illustrate a few of the many projects that we have completed during our 30-plus years in the business. Although control rooms and command centers have similar characteristics, I have prepared separate pages for each category because command centers are often larger in scale and include a wider range of activities than the singular monitoring activities common with most conventional control rooms. The separate Emergency Operations Center page is actually a subset of the command centers page, however given the continuing interest in modernizing emergency management at all governmental levels, I thought it best to focus on our products and services specifically designed for that purpose.
